3 Ways Your Commercial HVAC System Impacts Your Staff

Winter temperatures are falling in Concord, CA, and most businesses are turning up the heat to keep their facilities warm. But what happens to your business when your central heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system isn’t performing as it should? Let’s discuss three ways your commercial HVAC system impacts your staff.

Attendance

During flu season, colder temperatures force people to spend more time indoors, making it easy for germs and viruses to spread in a warm, humid indoor environment. As a result, employees are more likely to catch colds and illnesses from their family members. Then, they expose their coworkers and become sick too. Before you know it, everybody is taking sick days and there aren’t enough workers in attendance to get all the work done.

Productivity

It can be challenging for your staff to focus on their work in an uncomfortable work environment filled with strange odors and loud noises coming from an old heating system. An environment that’s either too warm or too cold can also make it difficult to concentrate. And when indoor air quality (IAQ) drops due to a lack of filter changes and preventive maintenance, productivity suffers even more.

Morale

Poor temperature control and low indoor air quality can also impact employee loyalty and morale. It’s not always possible to please every single staff member, but creating a workplace environment that offers a consistently comfortable temperature and is free from annoying odors and noises is something you can control. Keeping your workers comfortable, healthy and happy is a proven way to keep them loyal and productive.

Don’t let your heating system create a workplace that harms employee health, reduces productivity and erodes morale. To schedule commercial HVAC maintenance, repair and installation services, contact Contra Costa Climate Control. We’ll help to boost your business and help it succeed.
